Answer:

Figure a. E_net = 99.518 N/C

Figure b. E_net = 177.151 N / C

Explanation:

Given:

- Attachment for figures missing in the question.

- The dimensions for rectangle are = 7.79 x 3.99 cm

- All four charges have equal magnitude Q = 10.6*10^-12 C

Find:

Find the magnitude of the electric field at the center of the rectangle in Figures a and b.

Solution:

- The Electric field generated by an charged particle Q at a distance r is given by:

                                         E = k*Q / r^2

- Where, k is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 * 10^9

Part a)

- First we see that the charges +Q_1 and +Q_3 produce and electric field equal but opposite in nature. So the sum of Electric fields:

                                 E_1 + E_3 = 0

- For Charges -Q_2 and +Q_4, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_2. Hence, the net Electric Field at center of the rectangle can be given as:

                                  E_net = E_2 + E_4

                                  E_2 = E_4

                                  E_net = 2*E = 2*k*Q / r^2

- The distance r from each corner to mid-point of the rectangle is constant. It can be evaluated by Pythagoras Theorem as follows:

                                  r = sqrt ( (7.79/200)^2 + (3.99/200)^2 )

                                  r = sqrt ( 1.9151*10^-3 ) = 0.043762 m

- Plug the values in the E_net expression developed above:

                                  E_net = 2*(8.99*10^9)*(10.6*10^-12) / 1.9151*10^-3

                                 E_net = 99.518 N/C

Part b)

- Similarly for Figure b, for Charges -Q_2 and +Q_4, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_2. Also, Charges -Q_1 and +Q_3, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_1. These Electric fields are equal in magnitude to what we calculated in part a).

- To find the vector sum of two Electric Fields E_1,3 and E_2,4 we see the horizontal components of each cancels each other out. While the vertical components E_1,3 and E_2,4 are equal in magnitude and direction.

Hence,

                                  E_net = 2*E_part(a)*cos(Q)

- Where, Q is the angle between resultant, vertical in direction, and each of the electric field. We can calculate Q using trigonometry as follows:

                                  Q = arctan ( 3.99 / 7.79 ) = 27.12 degrees.

- Now, compute the net electric field E_net:

                                  E_net = 2*(99.518)*cos(27.12)

                                  E_net = 177.151 N / C

As shown above an adhesive has been applied to contacting faces of two blocks so that the blocks interact with an adhesive force
rusak2 [61]

The magnitude of the adhesive force allows the top block to remain

attached to the bottom when the blocks and the wire are balanced.

The option that must be true is; \mathbf{W_{bottom} = F_{adhesion}}

Reason:

The tension exerted by the wire attached to the top block = T

Magnitude of the adhesive = F_{adhesion}

Weight of the top block = W_{top}

Weight of the bottom block = W_{bottom}

Given that with the exertion of the tension, the two blocks remain at rest, we have;

  • T =  W_{top} + W_{bottom}

The adhesive causes the bottom block to remain attached to the top block, we have;

Therefore, the magnitude of the adhesive force adds the bottom weight, to the top, weight, which gives;

The magnitude of the adhesive force = The weight of the bottom block

Therefore;

  • W_{bottom} = F_{adhesion}

Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fanifthe desired velocity is 0.05 m3/s and the cross-sectional area is 20 cm
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

Explanation:

Complete statement is: <em>Determine the power that needs to besupplied by the fan if the desired velocity is 0.05 cubic meters per second and the cross-sectional area is 20 square centimeters.</em>

From Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics we know that fans are devices that work at steady state which accelerate gases (i.e. air) with no changes in pressure. In this case, mechanical rotation energy is transformed into kinetic energy. If we include losses due to mechanical friction, the Principle of Energy Conservation presents the following equation:

\eta\cdot \dot W = \dot K

\dot W = \frac{\dot K}{\eta} (Eq. 1)

Where:

\eta - Efficiency of fan, dimensionless.

\dot W - Electric power supplied fan, measured in watts.

\dot K - Rate of change of kinetic energy of air in time, measured in watts.

From definition of kinetic energy, the equation above is now expanded:

\dot W = \frac{\rho_{a}\cdot \dot V}{2\cdot \eta}\cdot \left(\frac{\dot V}{A_{s}} \right)^{2} (Eq. 2)

Where:

\rho_{a} - Density of air, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

\dot V - Volume flow, measured in cubic meters per second.

A_{s} - Cross-sectional area of fan, measured in square meters.

If we know that \rho_{a} = 1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, \dot V = 0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s}, \eta = 0.3 and A_{s} = 20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}, the power needed to be supplied by the fan is:

\dot K = \left[\frac{\left(1.20\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} \right)}{2\cdot (0.3)} \right]\cdot \left(\frac{0.05\,\frac{m^{3}}{s} }{20\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}} \right)^{2}

\dot K = 62.5\,W

A fan with an energy efficiency of 30 % would need 62.5 watts to bring a desired volume flow of 0.05 cubic meters per second through a cross-sectional area of 20 square centimeters.

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

[O]=1s^22s^22p^4

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6

O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.
